Election Commission upholds Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav’s candidacy for vice-president

The Election Commission has upheld Janata Samajwadi Party leader Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav’s candidacy for vice-president.

Mahesh Sharma, election officer at the Office of the Election Officer at New Baneshwar, Kathmandu, told journalists on Sunday that Yadav’s candidacy will be retained as there is no mandatory or binding provision requiring the president and vice-president to be from different genders and communities.
